Article Synopsis
- - The production and use of the insecticide chlordecone has led to significant long-term pollution in the James River area and the French West Indies, causing serious health issues and social problems, despite it being banned decades ago.
- - Research using laboratory biodegradation techniques identified 14 new transformation products (TPs) of chlordecone, expanding the list of environmental contaminants beyond the original molecule, and highlighting the chemical complexity involved in its degradation.
- - The study found that these TPs, including various new structures, are present in soil, water, and sediment samples from Martinique, suggesting extensive and ongoing environmental contamination that could affect ecosystems globally.
